Nurse Louise Hunter is outraged when the FBI arrests Masako Fumi, an avant-garde artist and newcomer to the city. Then Masako's art dealer is found dead in the gallery where he'd been closing down her show and Masako's troubles multiply.

Louise and homicide detective Michael McKenna must defy both racism and ham-fisted government agents to expose the real killer.
